FOREWORD 


PAINTS  and  Varnishes  are  no  longer  looked  upon  as  being  merely  decorative  in  pur- 
pose. Far  outweighing  this  quality  are  the  important  functions,  viz.:  to  prevent  rot 
and  decay,  rust  and  corrosion;  to  take  the  wear  and  tear  buildings  are  subjected  to, 
preserving  them  from  the  effects  of  time  and  use;  to  promote  health  by  securing  the  highest 
degree  of  sanitation,  which,  without  the  proper  use  of  the  scientifically  correct  finish  is  impos- 
sible; to  reflect  daylight,  toning  down  glaring  light  or  disseminating  and  refracting  all  of  the 
available  daylight,  thereby  reducing  the  amount  of  artificial  light  necessary.  In  short,  to 
promote  health  and  to  preserve  from  the  effects  of  time  and  use.  These  are  the  true  functions 
of  Paints  and  Varnishes. 

The  benefits  — Health  and  Economy  - are  obvious.  This  booklet  describes  various 
B.  P.  S.  products  made  especially  for  use  in  and  around  all  public  and  semi-public  buildings 
and  institutions  such  as  universities,  schools,  churches,  hospitals,  hotels,  stores,  offices,  ware- 
houses, manufacturing  plants  of  all  kinds,  breweries,  packing  houses,  apartment  houses,  etc. 
Necessarily  a list  of  this  kind  does  not  cover  the  entire  field,  nor  does  it  embrace  all  of  the 
different  materials  manufactured  by  us. 

In  presenting  for  your  consideration  the  different  products  listed  herein,  we  have 
no  apologies  to  offer  nor  any  hesitation  in  saying  each  one  is  the  very  best  that  can  be  pro- 
duced for  the  purpose. 

B.  P.  S.  Products  are  the  results  of  years  of  investigation  and  experiment;  exhaus- 
tive tests  have  been  made  to  determine  the  best  pigments,  varnishes  and  oils  to  be  combined 
in  the  proper  proportions  to  produce  the  scientifically  correct  finish  for  each  different  purpose. 
If  none  of  the  materials  described  are  adapted  to  your  use,  or,  if  your  painting  problems 
present  unusual  difficulties  or  require  expert  advice,  we  will  be  glad  to  place  our  Board  of 
Paint  Experts  at  your  service.

B.  P.  S.  MILL  WHITE 


“ The  Daylight  Paint ” 


It  is  hardly  necessary  in  this  day  and  age  to  point  out  to  the  progressive  owner 
or  manufacturer  the  advantages  in  utilizing  all  of  the  available  daylight  possible.  Modern 
scientific  investigation  proves  that  increased  production,  increased  efficiency,  increased  quality 
of  output  is  obtained  in  a light,  well  ventilated  and  sanitary  building.  All  authorities  agree 
that  daylight  is  the  only  proper  light  to  work  by. 

Unfortunately,  the  amount  of  daylight  in  the  average  building  is  minimized  by 
partitions,  machinery,  shafting,  belting,  etc.  This  condition  can  be  overcome  to  a great 
extent  by  using  paint  made  especially  for  the  purpose  of  diffusing  and  refracting  all  of  the 
light  that  enters  the  windows.  B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  fulfills  this  requirement  in  every  particular 
and  better  and  more  economically  than  any  other  paint. 

The  durability  of  B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  is  unequalled.  Ordinary  Mill  White  paints 
turn  yellow  very  quickly;  this  means  a darkened  room.  B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  stays  white, 
changing  the  walls  and  ceiling  into  a great  reflector,  thus  utilizing  all  the  light  that  enters 
the  room.  The  interior  of  a building  painted  with  B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  means  the  pleasure 
of  abundant  light,  soft,  pleasing  and  restful  to  the  eye.  This  “staying  white”  quality  renders 
a surface  that  is  dependable. 

The  advantages  are  obvious:  Necessity  for  artificial  light  reduced  to  a minimum, 
light  bills  reduced,  quality  of  work  enhanced,  quantity  of  output  increased. 

B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  is  made  in  five  finishes  to  meet  various  requirements.  A short 
description  of  each  will  be  found  in  the  following  pages,  as  well  as  specifications  for  use  under 
various  conditions.  Obviously,  it  is  impossible  to  give  directions  for  the  use  of  these  goods 
under  all  conditions  and  on  all  surfaces,  but  we  have  included  specifications  used  in  common 
practice.  If  you  have  a special  surface  to  paint,  the  conditions  of  which  are  unusual,  specifi- 
cation for  which  is  not  found  herein,  we  would  be  glad  to  have  you  communicate  with  our 
nearest  branch  office,  who  can  furnish  you  the  information  desired.

B.  P.  S.  Mill  W hite  Inside  Gloss  No.  3 


“ The  Daylight  Paint" 


B.  P.  S.  MILL  WHITE  INSIDE  GLOSS  No.  3 is  the  result  of  years  of  experi- 
ments to  produce  a durable,  constant,  lasting  gloss  white— one  that  will  not  turn  yellow  and 
will  retain  its  pure,  white  finish  and  its  gloss  the  greatest  length  of  time. 

It  is  the  very  best  paint  made  for  the  interiors  of  all  kinds  of  public  and  semi- 
public buildings,  institutions,  schools,  textile  mills,  factories,  warehouses,  breweries,  packing 
houses,  offices,  etc. 

It  refracts  and  disseminates  daylight  wherever  used,  obviating  the  necessity  for 
artificial  light  in  many  cases,  and  reducing  the  amount  of  artificial  light  necessary  in  all 
cases. 


It  has  wonderful  body,  is  easy  working,  and  is  absolutely  non-poisonous ; produces 
an  elastic,  sanitary  surface  that  allows  no  hiding-place  for  germs,  will  not  crack  or  scale, 
expands  and  contracts  with  temperature  changes  and  maintains  its  firm  surface  despite  vibra- 
tion. Its  practical  qualities  are  perfect  — flows  smoothly  and  evenly,  leaving  no  brush  marks, 
and  is  impervious  to  water.  Will  outwear  any  similar  finish.  It  is  an  intense  white  that 
stays  white. 

B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  Inside  Gloss  No.  3 is  made  for  a finishing  coat  only  and  can 
be  used  on  wood,  brick,  plaster,  concrete,  cement  and  metal  surfaces. 

Where  more  than  one  coat  is  desired,  use  as  undercoats  B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  No.  4 
or  No.  10.  For  full  directions  for  use,  see  page  14.

B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  Flat  Finish  No.  5 


“ The  Daylight  Paint ” 


B.  P.  S.  MILL  WHITE  FLAT  FINISH  No.  5 is  in  every  respect  the  same  as 
B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  Inside  Gloss  No.  3 and  B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  Egg  Shell  Finish  No.  8,  except- 
ing that  it  produces  a beautiful,  flat,  velvety  finish,  sometimes  desired  in  place  of  a high  gloss 
finish  or  egg  shell  finish.  Has  all  of  the  light  refracting  and  disseminating  qualities  of  the 
No.  3 and  No.  8 and  can  be  repeatedly  washed.  It  works  freely  under  the  brush  and  will 
not  show  laps  or  streaks  and  does  not  craze  or  check.  It  is  a soft,  intense  white  that  stays 
white. 


To  be  used  as  a finishing  coat  only.  Where  more  than  one-coat  work  is  to  be 
done,  use  as  undercoats  B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  No.  4 or  No.  10,  according  to  the  condition  of 
the  surface.  FOR  DIRECTIONS  SEE  PAGE  14. 

B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  Flat  Finish  No.  5 is  made  for  inside  use  on  wood,  brick,  plaster, 
concrete,  cement  or  metal  surfaces. 


B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  Egg  Shell  Finish  No.  8 

“ The  Daylight  Paint ” 


Where  neither  a full  gloss  nor  a dead  fiat  finish  is  desired,  B.  P.  S.  MILL  WHITE 
EGG  SHELL  FINISH  No.  8 should  be  used.  It  has  all  of  the  light  refracting  and  dissemi- 
nating qualities  of  the  No.  3 and  No.  5.  It  produces  a finish  about  half-way  between— the 
beautiful,  soft,  rich  sheen  known  as  egg  shell  finish.  It  is  durable,  sanitary,  non-poisonous, 
and  can  be  repeatedly  washed ; works  freely  under  the  brush  and  will  not  show  laps  or  streaks. 
It  is  a soft,  rich  white  that  does  not  yellow,  but  STAYS  WHITE. 

For  use  as  a finishing  coat.  Where  more  than  one-coat  work  is  desired,  use  as 
undercoats  B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  No.  4 or  No.  10,  according  to  the  condition  of  the  surface  to 
be  covered.  FOR  DIRECTIONS  SEE  PAGE  14. 

B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  Egg  Shell  Finish  No.  8 is  made  for  inside  use  on  wood,  brick, 
plaster,  cement,  concrete  and  metal  surfaces.

B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  Undercoat  No.  10 


“ The  Daylight  Paint ” 

This  is  a flat  white  paint  used  only  as  an  undercoat  for  B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  Nos. 
3,  5 or  8.  Should  be  used  in  all  cases  as  an  undercoating,  either  applied  directly  to  the  sur- 
face according  to  directions  when  two-coat  work  is  to  be  done,  or  over  a priming  coat  of 
B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  Full  Body  Oil  No.  4,  where  more  than  two  coats  are  used. 

B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  Undercoat  No.  10  holds  out  subsequent  coats  of  Mill  White 
and  provides  a surface  which  will  permit  a finish  on  the  work  otherwise  impossible  to  obtain. 
It  is  an  elastic,  sanitary,  non-poisonous  undercoating  that  expands  and  contracts  to  conform 
to  temperature  changes  and  withstands  vibration  perfectly.  It  will  not  cause  the  finishing 
coats  to  check  or  craze. 

For  inside  use  as  an  undercoat  on  wood,  brick,  plaster,  cement,  concrete  or  metal 
work.  Where  two-coat  work  is  to  be  done,  apply  B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  Undercoat  No.  10  for 
first  coat,  thinning  same  in  accordance  with  instructions  on  page  15.  On  three-coat  work, 
apply  a priming  coat  of  B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  Full  Body  Oil  No.  4 in  accordance  with  directions 
on  page  15,  following  with  a coat  of  B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  Undercoat  No.  10.  FOR  DIREC- 
TIONS FOR  USE  SEE  PAGE  14. 


B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  Full  Body  Oil  No.  4 

“ The  Daylight  Paint ” 

This  is  a full-bodied  oil  paint  and  is  intended  to  be  used  as  a primer  on  new  and 
old  porous  surfaces  where  three-coat  work  is  to  be  done. 

When  applied  according  to  directions,  it  will  produce  a perfect  foundation  for 
subsequent  coats.  It  penetrates  the  surface  thoroughly,  is  elastic  and  expands  and  contracts 
with  temperature  changes  and  is  unaffected  by  vibration. 

In  painting,  as  in  everything  else,  a firm,  secure  foundation  is  always  necessary 
when  best  results  are  desired.  Therefore,  we  recommend  the  use  of  B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  Full 
Body  Oil  No.  4 for  use  as  a primer  on  all  porous  surfaces  where  three-coat  work  is  to  be  done. 

For  inside  use  as  a primer  on  wood,  brick,  plaster,  concrete,  cement  or  metal 

surfaces. 


To  secure  best  results  reduce  B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  Full  Body  Oil  No.  4 with  from 
a quart  to  half  gallon  of  pure  raw  linseed  oil  to  the  gallon  of  paint,  according  to  the  condition 
of  the  surface  to  be  painted.  SEE  DIRECTIONS  ON  PAGE  15.

B.  P.  S.  MILL  WHITE  DIRECTIONS 


In  the  following  directions  we  have  specified  one,  two  and  three-coat  work  only. 
Necessarily,  in  giving  directions  for  use  we  are  obliged  to  confine  ourselves  to  average  con- 
ditions. Some  elasticity  must  necessarily  be  allowed  where  conditions  are  unusual,  and, 
while  these  directions  are  explicit,  occasionally  variations  of  them  are  necessary  to  meet 
unusual  conditions.  Such  variations  apply  to  the  undercoats  only  and  do  not  apply  to  the 
finishing  coats. 

B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  Inside  Gloss  No.  3,  B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  Flat  Finish  No.  5 and 
B.  P.  S.  Mill  White  Egg  Shell  Finish  No.  8 are  finishing  coats  and  should  always  be  used  as 
such.  If  the  paint  is  a little  heavy  in  consistency,  reduce  with  a small  amount  of  pure  spirits 
of  turpentine. 

If  you  have  experienced  any  trouble  with  previous  paintings  or  have  any  reason 
to  question  the  directions  given  herewith,  we  will  be  glad  to  have  you  communicate  with 
our  nearest  office,  who  can  advise  you  just  how  to  secure  the  best  finish  possible. 

PREPARING  THE  SURFACE 

See  that  the  surface  is  thoroughly  DRY  and  FREE  FROM  ALL  DIRT,  grease, 
or  any  foreign  matter.  Satisfactory  results  cannot  be  expected  if  surface  is  wet  or  damp. 

On  old  work,  remove  all  loose  or  scaly  paint.  Provide  a clean,  firm  foundation 
for  subsequent  coats. 


APPLYING  THE  PAINT 

Stir  the  paint  thoroughly.  Pour  it  back  and  forth  from  can  to  can  until  of  even 
consistency.  You  cannot  stir  paint  too  much.  Remember,  three  coats  of  paint  are  better 
than  two;  two  coats  are  better  than  one.  However,  under  certain  conditions  it  is  impractical 
to  apply  three  coats,  and  sometimes  no  more  than  one  coat  can  be  applied.  Hence,  we  include 
directions  for  one,  two  and  three-coat  work. 

ONE-COAT  WORK

B.  P.  S.  OUTSIDE  BUILDING  PAINT 


B.  P.  S.  OUTSIDE  BUILDING  PAINT  is  made  from  a perfected  formula.  Where 
white  is  the  base  it  is  composed  only  of  strictly  pure  white  lead,  oxide  of  zinc,  the  scientifically 
correct  percentage  of  inert  pigments  necessary  to  produce  greatest  durability,  to  neutralize 
the  acids  and  hold  the  paint  properly  in  suspension,  the  necessary  coloring  pigments,  strictly 
pure  and  properly  aged  linseed  oil  and  the  very  best  japan.  Shades  not  made  upon  a white 
base  contain  the  same  pure  linseed  oil,  japan  and  the  best  obtainable  coloring  pigments. 

B.  P.  S.  Outside  Building  Paint  is  ground  to  the  last  degree  of  fineness  by  means 
of  the  latest  and  most  improved  machinery,  under  the  personal  direction  of  competent  super- 
intendents whose  years  of  experience  have  given  them  a perfect  knowledge  of  the  treatment 
of  pigments  and  vehicles  and  the  proper  combination  of  colors  to  produce  durable  shades. 
The  result  is  a perfect  paint,  possessing  the  greatest  possible  covering  capacity,  durability, 
and  fine  finish,  such  as  cannot  be  obtained  by  the  use  of  hand-mixed  lead  and  oil,  or  other 
prepared  paints. 

B.  P.  S.  Outside  Building  Paint  is  a specially  prepared  paint  for  outside  use  on 
wood,  brick  or  metal  buildings  of  all  kinds.  Following  are  directions  for  use.  For  cement 
and  concrete  buildings  use  B.  P.  S.  Concrete  Coating.  See  page  25. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

Be  sure  to  stir  the  paint  thoroughly.  The  proper  way  to  stir  a paint  is  to  “box” 
it;  that  is,  pour  it  back  and  forth  from  one  can  into  another  until  it  is  thoroughly  mixed. 
If  paint  is  received  in  barrels  remove  the  barrel  head  and  stir  thoroughly  until  all  of  the  paint 
is  of  like  consistency.  Remember,  you  cannot  stir  the  paint  too  much. 

NEW  WORK.  Shellac  knots  and  pitchy  spots  before  priming.  The  priming 
coat  is  the  most  important  of  all.  Don’t  prime  with  Ochre,  White  Primer  or  Mineral  White, 
as  the  succeeding  coats  will  not  adhere.  Prime  with  B.  P.  S.  Outside  Building  Paint,  reduced 
with  an  equal  quantity  of  pure  raw  linseed  oil.  See  directions  on  page  18  for  painting  metal 
buildings.  After  priming,  putty  all  nail  holes  carefully.  For  the  second  coat,  add  a pint  of 
pure  turpentine  to  each  gallon  of  paint.  This  will  prevent  crawling  and  give  the  finishing 
coat  a better  gloss.  The  third,  or  finishing  coat,  should  always  be  applied  just  as  the  paint 
comes  in  the  original  package.  All  coats  should  be  well  rubbed  out.  Two  coats  on  new  work 
are  not  sufficient,  but  when  used,  thin  the  first  coat  by  adding  one- half  gallon  of  raw  Linseed 
Oil  to  one  gallon  of  paint;  apply  the  last  coat  just  as  the  paint  comes  in  the  can. 

OLD  WORK.  When  the  surface  is  porous  and  has  not  been  painted  for  a long 
time  it  should  be  treated  the  same  as  new  work.  All  loose  paint  must  be  removed  from  the 
surface  by  using  steel  brushes  or  scrapers.  Old  surfaces  that  have  been  exposed  to  soft  coal 
smoke,  greasy  door  jambs,  posts  and  railings,  should  be  thoroughly  cleaned.  Where  the 
surface  is  in  fair  condition,  add  one  pint  of  pure  turpentine  to  each  gallon  of  paint  for  the 
first  coat;  also  the  second  coat,  if  three  coats  are  applied,  finishing  as  directed  above.

B.  P.  S.  Outside  Building  Paint  Directions 

(Continued) 

METAL  BUILDINGS. —See  that  the  surface  is  thoroughly  dry  and  free  from 
grease,  dirt,  mill  scale  or  rust.  Remove  rust  and  mill  scale  with  wire  brushes.  Apply  one 
coat  of  NOBRAC  — black,  brown  or  olive  (see  page  29).  Allow  this  coat  24  hours  to  dry. 
For  second  and  third  coats  use  B.  P.  S.  Outside  Building  Paint  just  as  the  paint  comes  in 

the  package. 

SPECIAL  WORK. —Occasionally  a job  is  in  such  condition  that  no  paint  will 
give  satisfactory  results  when  applied  in  the  ordinary  way.  In  such  cases  we  invite  corre- 
spondence and  will  give  directions  for  special  treatment. 

GENERAL  REMARKS. —Be  sure  to  have  the  paint  well  rubbed  out.  More 
trouble  results  from  paint  being  applied  too  thick  than  from  any  other  cause,  and  for  this 
reason  it  is  difficult  to  get  a satisfactory  job  on  new  work  with  two  coats.  A thin  coat  of 
paint  wears  better  than  a thick  one.  Three  thin  coats  are  better  than  two  thick  coats  and 
are  less  liable  to  peel  and  blister.  Three  or  more  days  should  be  allowed  between  coats  for 
drying. 

A large  proportion  of  the  oil  sold  today  is  adulterated.  Therefore,  see  that  the 
oil  used  for  thinning  is  good  pure  linseed  oil. 

Wood  absorbs  moisture  in  many  ways  — from  leaky  gutters  and  down  pipes,  wet 
plaster,  etc.  Be  careful,  for  if  moisture  gets  in  under  the  paint  it  will  blister  and  peel.  Don’t 
blame  the  paint  for  bad  results  if  your  surface  is  not  right,  as  paint  will  not  adhere  to  wet, 
pitchy  and  sappy  lumber.  Too  much  paint  is  worse  than  too  little  and  you  may  think  your 
building  needs  painting  when  it  only  needs  washing.  B.  P.  S.  Paint  can  be  washed  without 
injury. 

QUANTITY  REQUIRED 

On  new  work  which  has  been  primed  during  the  process  of  building  and  in  repaint- 
ing old  buildings  in  fair  condition,  it  is  generally  safe  to  estimate  that  one  gallon  of  B.  P.  S. 
Outside  Building  Paint  will  cover  from  350  to  400  square  feet,  two  coats,  according  to  the 
condition  of  the  surface.  More  paint  will  be  required  if  the  surface  is  porous  and  has  not 
been  painted  for  a long  time. 

To  ascertain  the  number  of  gallons  required,  figure  up  the  number  of  square  feet 
in  the  surface,  allowing  10  to  20  per  cent  for  cornices,  sash,  edges,  etc.  Divide  by  350  or  400, 
according  to  the  surface,  and  the  result  will  be  the  number  of  gallons  of  B.  P.  S.  Outside  Build- 
ing Paint  required  for  two-coat  work. 

SELECTION  OF  COLORS 

The  list  of  shades  shown  in  this  book  comprises  our  standard  line  of  building 
colors.  We  are  prepared,  however,  to  match  any  particular  shade  desired  in  B.  P.  S.  Out- 
side Building  Paint  quality  on  orders  for  25  gallons  or  more.  We  issue  a set  of  color  plates 
illustrating  a few  of  the  many  harmonious  combinations  possible  by  the  use  of  B.  P.  S.  Out- 
side Building  Paint.  A post  card  or  letter  to  our  nearest  address  will  bring  a set  to  you.

B.  P.  S.  DON’TS 


1.  DON’T  fail  to  stir  the  paint  thoroughly.  If  in  cans,  pour  it  from  one  can  into  another, 
back  and  forth,  until  it  is  of  even  consistency.  If  in  barrels,  use  agitator  freely. 

2.  DON’T  apply  less  than  three  coats  of  paint  on  new  work,  two  are  not  sufficient. 

3.  DON’T  spread  the  paint  too  thick;  it  may  blister  and  peel  if  not  well  brushed  out. 

4.  DON’T  thin  with  or  add  anything  but  pure  raw  Linseed  Oil,  except  in  the  following 

cases: 

On  old  work  where  the  surface  is  in  fair  condition,  smooth  and  hard,  use  enough 
turpentine  on  under  coats  to  cut  the  gloss. 

During  cold  weather,  when  any  paint  is  liable  to  crawl,  add  a little  turpentine  to 
under  coat.  Nothing  should  be  added  to  last  coat. 

5.  DON’T  hurry.  Allow  plenty  of  time  for  each  coat  to  dry  thoroughly  before  applying 
the  next. 

6.  DON’T  paint  during  wet  or  frosty  weather. 

7.  DON’T  expect  good  results  when  you  paint  wet,  sappy  or  pitchy  lumber. 

8.  DON’T  fail  to  shellac  all  knots,  sappy  and  pitchy  spots. 

9.  DON’T  be  afraid  to  use  raw  Linseed  Oil  liberally  in  priming  coat. 

10.  DON’T  prime  with  Ochre,  Priming  White  or  Mineral  White  of  any  kind. 

11.  DON’T  fail  to  employ  a good  painter.

B.  P.  S OUTSIDE  FLOOR  PAINT 


B.  P.  S.  Outside  Floor  Paint  is  especially  prepared  for  outside  floors,  decks,  plat- 
forms, boardwalks,  etc.  A satisfactory  paint  for  this  purpose  must  combine  qualities  that 
produce  a hard,  tough,  and  at  the  same  time,  elastic  surface,  one  that  will  withstand  atmos- 
pheric changes,  that  will  most  successfully  resist  the  severe  uses  it  is  subjected  to  and  which 
will  not  spot  with  water. 

B.  P.  S.  Outside  Floor  Paint  is  the  best  paint  made  for  all  outside  cement,  concrete 
or  wood  floors,  platforms,  boardwalks,  decks,  verandas,  etc. 

B.  P.  S.  Outside  Floor  Paint,  in  addition  to  combining  these  qualities,  finishes 
with  a beautiful  gloss  and  is  the  most  durable  paint  for  this  purpose  that  can  be  produced. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

Stir  B.  P.  S.  Outside  Floor  Paint  thoroughly  before  using,  pouring  it  back  and  forth 
from  can  to  can.  To  obtain  the  best  results  be  sure  that  the  floors  are  thoroughly  cleaned 
and  free  from  soap  and  alkali.  This  being  a heavier  bodied  paint  than  is  usually  made  for 
floors,  it  must  be  thoroughly  rubbed  out.  A durable  paint  is  slow  drying.  Allow  2 days  before 
subjecting  to  rough  usage.

B.  P.  S.  DADO  PAINT 


This  paint,  as  its  name  implies,  is  adapted  for  finishing  dado  or  wainscot,  dries 
hard  over  night  with  a full  gloss  or  enamel  finish;  impervious  to  moisture,  it  can  be  repeatedly 
washed  without  injury  to  the  finish.  Will  retain  its  gloss  and  will  outwear  any  similar  finish. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

Stir  paint  thoroughly  before  using  and  pour  it  back  and  forth  from  can  to  can. 
See  that  the  surface  is  thoroughly  dry  and  clean  and  free  from  dirt,  grease  and  all  loose  paint. 

On  new  work  reduce  three  parts  of  paint  with  one  part  of  turpentine  for  first  coat . 
For  second  and  third  coats  apply  the  paint  as  it  comes  in  the  can. 

For  old  work  apply  one  or  two  coats  of  the  paint  as  it  comes  in  the  can.

COLOR  SCHEMES  FOR  FACTORY  PIPING 


Factory  efficiency  is  assisted  to  a great  degree  by  the  intelligent  use  of  color 
schemes  for  painting  factory  piping.  The  cost  of.  painting  each  pipe  line  a different  color 
scheme  is  very  slight  compared  to  the  benefits  derived.  By  the  use  of  a color  scheme 
it  is  unnecessary  to  trace  a line  to  its  source  to  determine  which  line  it  is ; a glance  at  a 
pipe  is  all  that  is  necessary  to  determine  this.  By  using  a color  scheme  of  this  kind  the 
pipe  fitter  will  not  take  down  the  wrong  line  when  making  repairs  or  additions. 

The  colors  shown  on  this  page  illustrate  the  possibilities  of  this  scheme  and  can 
be  varied  to  suit  conditions.  However,  we  would  suggest  that  the  colors  shown  on  the 
steam  lines  be  adhered  to,  as  different  shades  are  sometimes  affected  by  heat.  We  shall  be 
glad  to  co-operate  with  you  in  laying  out  a color  scheme  for  your  factory  pipe  lines  and  in- 
vite correspondence.

B.  P.  S.  MACHINERY  AND  ENGINE  ENAMELS 


This  line  is  made  especially  to  produce  a first-class  finish  on  all  kinds  of  machin- 
ery and  engines  (gas,  gasoline  and  steam),  machine  parts,  castings,  etc.,  as  well  as  for  refinish- 
ing same. 

The  B.  P.  S.  method  of  finishing  for  this  class  of  work,  will  produce  a first-class 
enamel  finish  that  will  stand  the  temperatures  steam  and  gas  engines  are  subjected  to,  that 
is  oil,  steam  and  wear  proof  and  that  will  retain  a beautiful  appearance  and  can  be  kept  spick 
and  span  at  all  times. 

B.  P.  S.  Machinery  and  Engine  Enamels  are  made  of  the  highest  grade  of  materials 
adapted  for  the  particularly  hard  conditions  a finish  of  this  kind  is  subjected  to. 

This  line  consists  of  Filler  (paste)  intended  for  first  coating.  The  Sealer  is  a liquid 
second  coating  of  the  same  shade  as  the  finishing  coat.  The  Finishing  Enamels  are  made  in 
eight  beautiful  shades  as  shown  below,  and,  when  applied  according  to  directions,  will  pro- 
duce a first-class,  durable,  oil  and  wear  resisting  finish. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

NEW  WORK.  See  that  the  work  is  dry  and  clean  and  free  from  oil,  grease  or 
rust.  For  first  coat  reduce  the  Filler  with  turpentine  or  benzine  to  the  consistency  of  cream 
and  brush  on  a heavy  coat.  Allow  12  hours  to  dry  and  sand  smoothly  with  No.  0 sandpaper. 
If  the  work  contains  any  sand  holes,  cracks  or  pits,  putty  same  up  with  the  Filler  in  paste 
form.  For  second  coat  apply  Sealer  of  the  same  shade  as  the  finishing  coat  just  as  it  comes 
in  the  can.  When  thoroughly  dry  apply  third  coat  - finishing  enamel  of  the  desired  shade. 
This  method  will  produce  a first-class,  economical  finish,  but  can  be  varied  as  desired  by 
additional  coats  of  the  finishing  enamel. 

OLD  WORK.  (For  refinishing.)  See  that  the  surface  is  thoroughly  dry  and 
clean  and  free  from  oil,  grease  and  rust.  Apply  one  or  more  coats  of  finishing  enamel,  as 
desired,  allowing  plenty  of  time  between  coats. 


FILLER 


The  Sealer  shades  are  not  shown  as  they  are  of  the  same  shades  as  the  finishing  coats.

B.  P.  S.  CONCRETE  COATING 


B.  P.  S.  Concrete  Coating  is  manufactured  for  use  upon  exterior  and  interior 
concrete  surfaces;  produces  a uniform,  flat,  durable  finish,  which  successfully  prevents  dis- 
integration and  checking ; shuts  out  moisture  and  is  not  affected  by  the  natural  alkali  in  the 
cement.  Its  composition  is  such  that  it  dries  very  hard,  combining  with  and  becoming  a 
part  of  the  concrete.  Laboratory  and  comparative  exposure  tests  clearly  demonstrate  the 
superior  qualities  of  B.  P.  S.  Concrete  Coating.  It  has  unusual  spreading  power.  Its  dura- 
bility under  severe  exposure  prevents  the  surface  from  disintegrating  and  makes  it  water- 
proof, preventing  discoloration.  It  can  also  be  used  successfully  on  brick  and  other  surfaces 
where  a flat  finish  is  desired.  For  concrete  and  cement  floors  use  B.  P.  S.  Cement  Floor  Coat- 
ing. See  page  27.  FOR  ALL  CLASSES  OF  EXTERIOR  AND  INTERIOR  CONCRETE 
WORK. 


DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

Stir  thoroughly  until  of  even  consistency.  See  that  the  surface  is  thoroughly 
cleaned  of  all  loose  material.  For  priming  coat  reduce  B.  P.  S.  Concrete  Coating  with  one- 
half  gallon  of  pure  raw  Linseed  Oil  to  the  gallon  of  paint.  Second  coat  apply  B.  P.  S.  Concrete 
Coating  as  it  comes  in  the  package.  One  gallon  covers  from  150  to  200  square  feet,  one  coat, 
on  the  average  concrete  or  brick  surface,  and  from  200  to  300  square  feet  on  close-grained 
surfaces,  such  as  adamant,  plaster,  etc.

B.  P.  S.  SHED,  ROOF  AND  FENCE  PAINT 

B.  P.  S.  Shed,  Roof  and  Fence  Paint  is  made  from  high  grade  metallic  pigments, 
finely  ground  in  powerful  water-cooled  mills.  Owing  to  the  great  covering  capacity  of  this 
paint,  it  will  stand  a liberal  reduction  of  Linseed  Oil  to  the  gallon  of  paint  and  produce  first 
class  results  at  a minimum  cost. 

For  painting  all  classes  of  rough  work,  viz.:  sheds,  fences,  roofs,  bridges,  out- 
buildings, gutters,  valleys  and  downspouts.  In  fact  all  exterior  wood,  brick  or  iron  surfaces 
where  an  inexpensive  finish  is  desired. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

Stir  the  paint  thoroughly  before  using,  pouring  it  back  and  forth  from  can  to  can. 
Reduce  to  a painting  consistency  with  pure,  raw  Linseed  Oil  in  the  summer  and  boiled  in 

the  spring  and  fall. 

On  wood  (old  or  new)  for  first  coat  use  from  one-half  gallon  to  one  gallon  of  oil 
to  one  gallon  of  paint,  mixing  thoroughly. 

For  subsequent  coats  use  from  one-fourth  to  one-half  gallon  of  oil  to  one  gallon 
of  paint,  as  necessary. 

Over  metal  thin  according  to  surface  to  be  covered.

B.  P.  S.  CEMENT  FLOOR  COATING 


A cement  or  concrete  floor  that  is  given  an  occasional  coat  of  B.  P.  S.  Cement 
Floor  Coating  should  last  as  long  as  the  building,  whereas  an  unpainted  floor  requires  con- 
tinual patching  or  renewal  after  a few  years  of  service. 

B.  P.  S.  Cement  Floor  Coating  is  made  especially  for  use  on  interior  cement  and 
concrete  floors.  It  is  a most  satisfactory  finish  for  cement  and  concrete  floors,  as  it  prevents 
and  stops  disintegration  and  “powdering  off.”  It  does  away  with  the  poisonous  alkali  which 
is  continually  arising  from  these  surfaces.  It  thoroughly  impregnates  the  surface  so  that  it 
will  not  absorb  oil,  grease  or  moisture  and  produces  a tile-like  surface  which  can  be  washed 
or  scrubbed  and  kept  as  sanitary  and  clean  as  the  most  expensive  tile  floor. 

B.  P.  S.  Cement  Floor  Coating  is  a very  tough,  elastic  and  durable  paint.  It  dries 
perfectly  hard  over  night  with  a rich,  durable  gloss  and  will  take  all  the  wear  the  floor  is 
subjected  to.  When  used  on  cement  or  concrete  floors  it  is  unnecessary  to  use  any  primer 
or  hardener  on  the  floor. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

If  the  floor  needs  any  repairs,  have  same  done  before  painting.  Fill  all  cracks, 
crevices  and  holes  with  cement  and  allow  same  to  become  perfectly  dry  and  hard  before  apply- 
ing the  paint.  Stir  the  paint  thoroughly  before  using,  and  pour  it  back  and  forth  from  can 
to  can.  See  that  the  floor  is  free  from  oil  and  grease  and  is  dry  and  clean.  For  first  and  second 
coats  reduce  three  parts  of  paint  with  one  part  of  pure  turpentine.  Apply  the  third  coat 
as  it  comes  in  the  can.  Spread  the  paint  out  thin  and  evenly  and  allow  it  to  become  perfectly 
hard  between  coats.  Leave  the  windows  and  doors  open  as  free  circulation  of  air  is  absolutely 
necessary  to  insure  the  proper  drying  of  the  paint.

B.  P.  S.  PUBLIC  BUILDING  ENAMELS 


This  line  is  composed  of  paints  suitable  for  the  interior  finishing  of  all  public  and 
semi-public  buildings,  such  as  office  buildings,  schools,  colleges,  institutions,  hospitals,  hotels, 
churches,  apartment  houses,  department  stores,  etc.  This  line  consists  of  14  shades  of  enamel 
finishes.  For  flat  finishes,  suitable  for  the  class  of  work  mentioned  above,  see  pages  40  and 
41,  on  which  is  a full  and  complete  description  and  color  chips  of  B.  P.  S.  Flat  Wall  Finish  — 
a finish  particularly  adapted  for  this  work. 

The  enamel  finishes  shown  here  produce  a hard,  durable,  brilliant  gloss  finish  that 
can  be  repeatedly  washed  without  injury.  They  work  easily,  cover  well  and  retain  an  enamel 
finish  indefinitely. 

For  interior  use  on  wood,  brick,  plaster  or  steel  — for  walls,  ceilings,  partitions, 
dados,  wainscot,  radiators,  elevator  shafts,  ornamental  iron  work,  pipes,  etc. 

Made  in  14  beautiful  shades,  shown  below,  as  well  as  black  and  white.  We  call 
particular  attention  to  the  gloss  white  finish,  as  it  is  a beautiful,  snow-white  enamel  finish 
that  will  not  yellow'  and  that  can  be  repeatedly  washed  wfithout  injury.  It  will  retain  its 
gloss  and  maintain  a porcelain-like  finish  indefinitely. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

Stir  the  paint  thoroughly,  pouring  it  back  and  forth  from  can  to  can.  See  that  the 
surface  to  be  painted  is  thoroughly  dry  and  free  from  greasy  substances,  dirt  and  all  loose 
paint. 

On  new  wrork  reduce  two  parts  of  the  gloss  paint  with  one  part  of  pure  turpentine 
for  the  first  coat.  For  second  and  third  coats  apply  the  paint  just  as  it  comes  in  the  can. 

On  plaster  walls  use  one  coat  of  B.  P.  S.  Liquid  Filler,  followed  by  two  coats  of 
the  paint.  If  the  work  is  to  be  finished  gloss  white  the  surface  should  be  prepared  by  apply- 
ing two  or  more  coats  of  B.  P.  S.  Inside  Flat  White.  Finish  with  two  or  more  coats  of  the 
gloss  white  just  as  it  comes  in  the  can.

B.  P.  S.  NOBRAC— Black,  Brown  and  Olive 


B.  P.  S.  Nobrac  is  the  best  paint  that  can  be  produced  for  protecting  all  kinds  of 
metal  work  exposed  to  the  elements.  All  of  the  necessary  qualities  for  the  protection  and 
preservation  of  iron  and  steel  structures  are  incorporated  in  NOBRAC. 

It  forms  a tough,  elastic  coating  that  thoroughly  prevents  corrosion  and  rust.  In 
case  the  paint  film  should  be  broken  by  outside  agencies,  rust  or  corrosion  will  not  extend 
beyond  the  limits  of  the  abrasion.  This  makes  the  cost  of  maintaining  a structure  painted 
with  Nobrac  very  small,  as  these  abrasions  can  be  touched  up  with  Nobrac  and  in  this  way 
the  structure  will  be  protected  for  a great  many  years. 

On  account  of  its  easy  working  and  wonderful  spreading  qualities  Nobrac  is  very 
economical,  when  the  cost  per  square  foot  or  ton  is  taken  into  consideration.  This  with  the 
low  maintenance  cost  makes  Nobrac  the  best  and  most  economical  protective  coating  on 
the  market. 

It  is  the  best  protective  paint  for  all  kinds  of  steel  and  iron  work,  such  as  tanks, 
supports,  iron  siding,  gutters,  valleys,  downspouts,  columns,  underframes,  fire  escapes,  fences, 
bridges,  viaducts,  roofs,  window  gratings,  in  fact,  everything  in  iron  and  steel. 

Nobrac,  over  an  ordinary  metal  surface,  will  cover  from  800  to  1000  square  feet  per 
gallon,  one  coat.  On  structural  work  of  the  ordinary  type  one  gallon  will  paint  5 tons,  one 
coat;  one  gallon  will  cover  more  tons  than  this  where  the  members  are  extremely  heavy  and, 
of  course,  less  where  they  are  light. 

Write  for  a copy  of  the  “Nobrac  Book,”  which  is  a treatise  on  the  preservation 
of  iron  and  steel  and  which  contains  information  of  value  to  every  one  interested  in  this  sub- 
ject. Many  illustrations  are  shown  of  structures  of  all  types  in  different  parts  of  the  country, 
showing  the  varied  use  of  Nobrac  and  the  wonderful  results  that  have  been  obtained  by  its  use. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

Stir  thoroughly  before  using.  See  that  the  surface  to  be  painted  is  free  from  dirt, 
grease,  mill  scale  or  rust.  Use  wire  brushes  or  scrapers  to  remove  mill  scale,  rust  or  old  paint. 

Apply  one  or  more  coats  of  B.  P.  S.  Nobrac  without  any  thinning  or  addition 
whatever.  Allow  at  least  24  hours  between  coats.

B.  P.  S METAL  PRESERVATIVE  BLACK 


For  a moderate  priced  paint  B.  P.  S.  Metal  Preservative  Black  gives  exceptional 
value.  It  can  be  used  in  a great  many  ways  where  a moderate  priced  paint  is  wanted,  both 
inside  and  outside  of  buildings. 

This  is  especially  true  where  there  are  a great  many  metal  surfaces  that  are  to 
be  finished  in  light  colors  and  are  to  be  repainted  frequently.  In  all  cases  these  metal  sur- 
faces should  receive  a priming  coat  of  B.  P.  S.  Metal  Preservative  Black,  which  will  prevent 
rust  from  coming  through  and  discoloring  the  light  color  finish. 

In  case  the  metal  surface  is  left  black  it  should  receive  two,  or  better  three  coats 
of  B.  P.  S.  Metal  Preservative  Black. 

B.  P.  S.  Metal  Preservative  Black,  while  moderate  in  cost,  will  prevent  corrosion 
of  iron  and  steel,  both  inside  and  outside  of  buildings,  for  a considerable  period,  and  better 
than  a great  many  of  the  so-called  protective  coatings  on  the  market,  at  a higher  price.  It 
works  easily,  spreads  well  and  dries  with  a good  gloss  and,  under  all  reasonable  weather  con- 
ditions, will  dry  perfectly  hard  over  night. 

A good,  first-clqss,  inexpensive  black  finish  for  such  work  as  gutters,  valleys, 
downspouts,  iron  siding,  columns,  pillars,  frames,  ornamental  iron  work,  etc.

B.  P.  S.  HULLEAD 

Patented  Nov.  28th,  1916— No.  1,205,976 

A Red  Lead  Paint 

B.  P.  S.  Hullead  is  a liquid  red  lead  paint  ready  for  use. 

Experience  has  shown  that  a combination  of  pigments  produces  a better  and 
more  durable  paint  than  one  composed  of  a single  pigment. 

Hullead  is  the  ideal  red  lead  paint,  as  it  is  composed  of  the  correct  percentage  of 
red  lead  in  combination  with  reinforcing  pigments  that  will  do  more  and  better  work  and 
last  longer  than  any  red  lead  composition  on  the  market,  or  red  lead  and  oil  hand  mixed. 

Comes  ready  for  use  and  does  away  with  the  time  and  labor  necessary  in  hand 
mixing  red  lead  and  oil. 

Owing  to  the  extreme  fine  grinding  and  intimate  mixing  of  the  B.  P.  S.  Hullhead 
it  will  cover  25  per  cent  more  surface  than  hand  mixed  red  lead.  On  account  of  its  easy  work- 
ing properties,  25  per  cent  less  time  and  labor  is  required  for  a given  surface  than  when  hand 
mixed  red  lead  is  used.  Unlike  hand  mixed  red  lead,  B.  P.  S.  Hullhead  will  not  settle  or  become 
hard  in  the  package. 

It  is  especially  adapted  and  has  been  used  for  many  years  in  marine  work  on 
fresh  and  salt  water  where  the  requirements  are  especially  severe. 

Manufactured  for  use  on  metal  work  of  all  kinds  wherever  a red  lead  paint  is  wanted , 


HULLEAD 
(A  Red  Lead  Paint) 


DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

Stir  thoroughly  before  using.  See  that  the  surface  to  be  painted  is  free  from  dirt 
grease  and  rust.  Use  wire  brushes  or  scrapers  to  remove  rust,  mill  scale  or  old  paint. 

B.  P.  S.  Hullead  can  be  reduced  with  a half-gallon  of  raw  linseed  oil  to  the  gallon 

of  paint. 

Apply  one  or  more  coats  as  desired,  allowing  sufficient  time  between  coats  for  the 
paint  to  become  hard  and  dry. 


B.  P.  S.  INSULATING  BLACK 

All  electrical  apparatus  should  be  given  a coat  of  B.  P.  S.  Insulating  Black. 

This  will  prevent  loss  of  current,  at  the  same  time  preserving  from  rust  and 

corrosion. 

Is  an  absolute  non-conductor  of  electricity. 

Is  a high-grade  varnish  black,  drying  hard  with  a high  gloss. 

A tough,  durable,  elastic,  quick-drying  black. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

Stir  thoroughly  before  using.  See  that  the  surface  is  free  from  dirt  or  rust  before 
painting.  Use  wire  brushes  or  scrapers  to  remove  rust  or  old  paint. 

Apply  one  or  more  coats  of  B.  P.  S.  Insulating  Black  without  any  thinning  or 
addition  whatever.  Allow  at  least  24  hours  between  coats.

B.  P.  S.  STACK  PAINTS 


B.  P.  S.  Stack  Paints  are  made  to  give  the  best  possible  results  under  existing 
conditions.  We  do  not  recommend  any  one  particular  paint  for  all  stack  treatment. 

Stacks,  on  account  of  their  many  differences  as  regards  conditions,  temperature, 
make-up,  etc.,  require  different  treatment.  A paint  that  will  be  satisfactory  on  a stack  that 
does  not  reach  a very  high  degree  of  heat  will  absolutely  fail  on  a stack  that  does  get  very  hot . 

On  double  stacks  which  do  not  reach  a temperature  of  over  200  degrees,  we  recom- 
mend Nobrac  (page  29)  as  the  best  paint  for  the  purpose. 

On  single  stacks  which  reach  a high  degree  of  heat,  we  recommend  our  regular 
Smoke  Stack  Paint.  Dries  with  a high  gloss  and  will  withstand  a very  high  degree  of  heat, 
and  when  it  does  burn  off  it  burns  off  clean,  so  that  when  it  is  necessary  to  repaint,  the  sur- 
face is  smooth  and  free  from  charred  paint.  On  very  tall  single  stacks,  it  is  often  advisable 
to  paint  the  top  part— that  part  which  is  often  hard  to  get  at,  and  which  part  does  not  reach 
a very  high  degree  of  temperature,  with  Nobrac.  The  lower  half,  or  part  which  does  reach 
a high  degree  of  heat  and  has  to  be  finished  frequently,  should  be  painted  with  B.  P.  S.  Stack 
Paint. 


DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

Stir  thoroughly  before  using.  See  that  the  stacks  are  thoroughly  cleaned  before 
painting.  Remove  all  old  paint  and  rust  by  using  wire  brushes  or  scrapers. 

Apply  one  or  more  coats  of  B.  P.  S.  Stack  Paint  (or  Nobrac,  as  outlined  above) 
without  any  thinning  or  addition  whatever.  Allow  24  hours  between  coats. 


B.  P.  S.  LIQUID  GRAPHITE 

B.  P.  S.  Liquid  Graphite  is  a strictly  pure  product,  free  from  all  impurities,  and 
contains  a high  percentage  of  carbon. 

It  is  manufactured  from  artificial  graphite,  made  in  an  electric  furnace  at  the 
highest  degree  of  heat  possible  to  attain,  insuring  an  absolutely  pure  product. 

Owing  to  the  quality  of  the  materials  and  the  care  used  in  its  manufacture,  B.  P.  S. 
Liquid  Graphite  is  the  best  graphite  paint  on  the  market. 

Will  be  found  most  satisfactory  in  working  and  covering  qualities  and  durability. 

Made  in  the  natural  color,  gray;  also  black.  The  black  is  made  by  the  addition 
of  Carbon  Black  to  secure  the  color  sometimes  desired  in  place  of  the  natural  color. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

Stir  thoroughly  before  using.  See  that  the  surface  to  be  painted  is  free  from 
dirt,  grease,  mill  scale  or  rust.  Use  wire  brushes  or  scrapers  to  remove  mill  scale,  rust  or  old 
paint. 

Apply  one  or  more  coats  of  B.  P.  S.  Liquid  Graphite  without  any  thinning  or 
addition  whatever.  Allow  plenty  of  time  between  coats. 


B.  P.  S.  ASPHALTUMS 


B.  P.  S.  Asphaltums  are  made  of  selected  materials  and  contain  no  impurities  or 
adulteration. 

Dry  quickly  and  hard,  producing  a beautiful,  smooth,  jet-black  finish,  that  is 
very  tough  and  durable. 

Made  in  two  grades:  Turpentine  Asphaltum  and  Benzine  Asphaltum.

B.  P.  S.  GALVANIZED  IRON  PRIMER 


Paint  will  not  adhere  to  galvanized  iron  unless  the  iron  has  first  lx  n coated  \w 
a preparation  to  neutralize  the  action  of  the  galvanic  salts  used  in  galvanizim  iron. 

Paint  applied  directly  to  galvanized  iron  will  check,  peel  and  discolor. 

This  trouble  can  only  be  overcome  by  using  B.  P.  S.  Galvanized  Iron  I Vi  nr  r a a 
first  coat  on  all  galvanized  iron  work. 

Do  not  apply  any  paint  directly  to  the  galvanized  iron.  First  apph  a coat  of 
B.  P.  S.  Galvanized  Iron  Primer  which  will  permit  the  subsequent  coats  of  paint  to  afford 
protection  to  the  surface  inherent  in  themselves. 

B.  P.  S.  Galvanized  Iron  Primer  is  a colorless  preparation  and  any  desired  shade 
or  quality  of  paint  can  be  used  over  it,  but  bear  in  mind  that  the  better  quality  of  paint  u~<  d 
the  better  will  be  the  results  obtained. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

See  that  the  surface  is  thoroughly  dry  and  free  from  dirt,  grease,  rust  and  scale. 
Remove  all  scale  and  rust  with  wire  brushes.  Apply  one  coat  of  Galvanized  Iron  Prim,  r just 
as  it  comes  in  the  can.  Allow  24  to  36  hours  for  the  primer  to  become  thoroughly  dry  and 
hard,  then  apply  one  or  more  coats  of  the  paint  selected  for  finishing,  allowing  plenty  of 
time  between  coats. 


B.  P.  S.  JAPANS  AND  DRIERS 


B.  P.  S.  Japans  and  Driers,  like  all  of  our  other  products,  are  the  best  that  can  lie 
produced  for  the  purpose. 

They  are  full  strength  driers  and  are  neutral,  having  no  deleterious  effects  on  the 
materials  in  which  they  are  used.

B.  P.  S.  MILL  AND  MINE  VILLAGE  PAINT 


B.  P.  S.  Mill  and  Mine  Village  Paint  is  produced  to  meet  the  demand  for  a good 
paint  for  general  use  at  a low  price. 

New  discoveries,  the  results  of  years  of  experiment,  make  it  possible  for  us  to 
furnish  a better  paint  at  a lower  price  than  any  other  manufacturer.  It  will  cover  more  sur- 
face, finish  with  a better  gloss  and  will  outwear  any  similar  priced  paint  on  the  market.  It 
is  a paint  for  general  use.  It  can  be  used  inside  or  outside.  It  is  weather  resisting  and  fur- 
nishes good  protection  when  used  as  an  exterior  paint.  As  a floor  paint,  interior  and  exterior, 
it  is  wear  resisting  and  will  stand  the  rough  wear  that  floors  are  subjected  to.  It  finishes 
with  a fine  gloss  and  can  be  washed  or  scrubbed. 

A good  finish  for  walls,  ceilings,  interior  woodwork  or  furniture,  a general  all- 
around  paint  for  all  purposes.  For  outside  use  on  buildings,  floors,  barns,  sheds,  fences, 
wagons,  etc. —anything  outside  that  requires  painting. 

For  inside  use  on  walls,  partitions,  ceilings,  woodwork,  floors,  cupboards,  racks, 
benches,  etc. -anything  inside  that  requires  painting.  Use  it  anywhere,  any  time. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

Stir  the  paint  thoroughly,  pouring  it  back  and  forth  from  can  to  can  until  it  is 
of  even  consistency.

B.  P.  S.  INSIDE  FLOOR  PAINT 


B.  P.  S.  Inside  Floor  Paint,  for  interior  floors,  is  the  best  Floor  Paint  made.  It 
is  a very  tough,  durable  and  elastic  floor  paint;  dries  perfectly  hard  over  night  with  a rich 
durable  varnish  finish.  It  is  a high  grade  paint,  made  of  the  very  best  materials  to  produce 
the  most  satisfactory  results  on  interior  floors  where  quick-drying,  hardening  and  wearing 
qualities  are  required.  It  thoroughly  water-proofs  the  surface  so  that  it  will  not  absorb 
grease  or  moisture,  and  by  its  use  the  floor  can  be  kept  clean  and  sanitary  at  all  times. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

Stir  thoroughly  before  using  and  pour  it  back  and  forth  from  can  to  can.  See 
that  the  floor  is  free  from  grease  and  is  dry  and  clean.  Reduce  first  and  second  coats,  one 
part  of  pure  Turpentine  to  three  parts  of  paint.  Apply  third  coat  as  it  comes  in  the  can. 
Spread  the  paint  out  thin  and  evenly  over  the  entire  surface  and  allow  it  to  become  perfectly 
hard  between  coats.  Leave  the  windows  and  doors  open,  as  free  circulation  of  air  is  abso- 
lutely necessary  to  insure  the  proper  drying  of  the  paint.

B.  P.  S.  FLAT  WALL  FINISH 


11  An  Enamel  with  the  Shine  Taken  Out ” 

B.  P.  S.  Flat  Wall  Finish  is  the  product  of  years  of  experiment,  and  will  produce 
upon  all  classes  of  walls  a perfectly  soft,  velvety  surface,  unaffected  by  the  excess  of  lime 
which  so  frequently  destroys  the  ordinary  wall  finish. 

Being  “An  Enamel  with  the  Shine  Taken  Out,”  it  has  all  of  the  qualities  of  enamel 
and  the  added  advantage  of  a soft,  even  tone  and  velvety  finish  that  reflects  light  without 
glaring  high-lights  or  shadows. 

Aside  from  the  beauty  of  B.  P.  S.  Flat  Wall  Finish  as  a wall  finish,  it  is  an  eco- 
nomical, permanent,  sanitary  finish,  that  will  not  discolor  or  fade,  and  that  can  be  kept 
scrupulously  clean.  It  is  impervious  to  moisture  and  can  be  repeatedly  washed  with  soap 
and  water. 

It  is  from  every  point  of  view  the  correct  finish  for  schools,  churches,  homes, 
public  buildings,  hospitals,  stores,  offices,  mills,  factories  and  workshops. 

On  plaster,  smooth  or  rough;  on  brick  or  concrete  walls;  on  burlap  walls  or 
panels;  over  any  fibre  or  composition  board;  on  metal  ceilings;  even  over  old  wall  paper, 
it  is  the  most  satisfactory  flat  wall  finish  ever  devised. 

B.  P.  S.  Flat  Wall  Finish  can  be  used  with  excellent  results  as  a finish  for  interior 
woodwork  where  it  is  desired  to  carry  out  a color  scheme  to  the  last  degree,  as  it  imparts 
to  the  woodwork  the  soft,  velvety  finish  that  is  characteristic  of  B.  P.  S.  Flat  Wall  Finish 
wherever  it  is  used. 

In  short,  B.  P.  S.  Flat  Wall  Finish  embodies  every  essential  of  a good  wall  finish 
in  beauty,  sanitation  and  economy.  It  has  decided  advantages  of  its  own  without  the  dis- 
advantages of  wall  paper,  ordinary  oil  paint,  water  paint  or  calcimine.  It  is  an  ideal  finish. 

B.  P.  S.  Flat  Wall  Finish  is  made  in  a variety  of  colors,  and  if  a shade  different 
from  any  of  these  is  desired,  you  can  easily  take  the  nearest  shade  and  tone  it  with  another 
tint  of  B.  P.  S.  Flat  Wall  Finish. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

Shake  well  and  stir  thoroughly  until  of  even  consistency.  B.  P.  S.  Flat  Wall 
Finish  should  not  be  brushed  out,  but  applied  freely  with  a full  brush.  All  coats  must  be 
perfectly  dry  and  hard  before  applying  subsequent  coats.  Under  favorable  conditions,  48 
hours  between  coats  are  necessary.  NEW  WORK  — On  plaster  work,  apply  a priming  coat 
of  one  part  B.  P.  S.  Flat  Wall  Finish,  one  part  B.  P.  S.  Clear  Varnish  Size  and  one  part  Pure 
Raw  Linseed  Oil,  this  coat  to  be  followed  by  one  coat  of  B.  P.  S.  Flat  Wall  Finish, reduced 
with  one  pint  of  Pure  Raw  Linseed  Oil  to  the  gallon  of  B.  P.  S.  Flat  Wall  Finish.  Third 
coat  to  be  B.  P.  S.  Flat  Wall  Finish  as  it  comes  in  the  can.  Composition  Board— First  Coat: 
B.  P.  S.  Clear  Varnish  Size,  followed  with  one  or  two  coats  of  B.  P.  S.  Flat  Wall  Finish.  OLD 
WORK  — Calcimine  or  finishes  of  this  nature  should  be  washed  off  before  applying  B.  P.  S. 
Flat  Wall  Finish.  First  Coat  — Two  parts  B.  P.  S.  Flat  Wall  Finish,  one  part  raw  Linseed 
Oil.  Second  Coat-B.  P.  S.  Flat  Wall  Finish  as  it  comes  in  the  can.  Size  is  usually  unneces- 
sary on  old  work.  Careful  and  prompt  attention  will  be  given  correspondence  relative  to 
special  cases  or  unusual  conditions.  B.  P.  S.  Flat  Wall  Finish  can  be  washed  without  injury. 
Use  clean,  warm  water  and  Ivory  soap.  Rinse  well  and  wipe  off  with  a damp  cloth. 

Gloss  oil  or  rosin  oil  compounds  should  never  be  used  as  a primer  or  first-coater 
on  plaster  surfaces  which  are  subsequently  to  be  painted. 

B.  P.  S.  Flat  Wall  Finish  is  a perfectly  satisfactory  under-coating  for  enamels  of 

all  kinds.

B.  P.  S.  EXTERIOR  ENAMELS 


B.  P.  S.  Exterior  Enamels  are  manufactured  to  supply  the  demand  for  enamel 
finishes  subjected  to  exterior  exposure.  They  are  beautiful,  durable,  easy-working  enamels, 
suitable  for  many  varied  uses,  such  as  ornamental  work,  store  fronts,  trucks,  wagons,  or  on 
wood  and  metal  surfaces  where  an  enamel  finish  is  desired. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

See  that  the  work  is  thoroughly  dry  and  clean.  First  coat,  reduce  one  gallon  of 
enamel  with  one  pint  of  Turpentine.  Second  coat,  just  as  it  comes  in  the  can.  If  more  than 
two-coat  work  is  desired,  add  one-half  pint  of  Turpentine  for  the  second  coat.

B.  P.  S.  ENAMEL  WHITE 

This  line  consists  of 

B.  P.  S.  ENAMEL  WHITE  (snow  white) 

B.  P.  S.  IVORY  WHITE  ENAMEL 

B.  P.  S.  FLAT  ENAMEL  WHITE  (ivory  white) 

B.  P.  S.  BATH  TUB  ENAMEL 

They  are  THE  HIGHEST  GRADE  ENAMELS  POSSIBLE  TO  MAKE,  being 
of  the  same  quality,  the  difference  being  in  the  character  of  finish  produced,  and  are  the  best 
white  enamels  for  all  classes  of  interior  finishing  where  the  highest  grade  finish  is  desired. 

B.  P.  S.  ENAMEL  WHITE  (snow  white)  is  a perfect  enamel  for  the  highest  grade 
work;  it  dries  with  a full,  rich  luster  and  can  be  rubbed  and  polished  to  a high  finish.  IT  IS 
AN  INTENSE  WHITE -AS  WHITE  AS  SNOW;  produces  a smooth,  even  surface  which 
does  not  show  brush  marks.  Impervious  to  water,  it  is  particularly  desirable  for  bathrooms, 
hospitals  and  surfaces  which  must  be  frequently  cleaned. 

B.  P.  S.  IVORY  WHITE  ENAMEL  is  identical  in  every  respect  to  B.  P.  S. 
Enamel  White  (snow  white),  with  the  exception  of  color.  It  is  a soft,  mellow,  subdued  white 
of  beautiful  tone  and  extreme  richness. 

B.  P.  S.  FLAT  ENAMEL  WHITE  is  an  ivory  white  Flat  Enamel,  in  every  respect 
the  same  as  B.  P.  S.  Enamel  White,  excepting  that  it  FINISHES  A DEAD  FLAT  WHITE; 
produces  a beautiful  flat  finish  sometimes  desired  in  place  of  a high  enamel  finish  such  as  se- 
cured by  the  use  of  B.  P.  S.  Enamel  White  (snow  white)  or  B.  P.  S.  Ivory  White  Enamel. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

Stir  B.  P.  S.  Enamel  White  thoroughly  before  using  and  pour  it  back  and  forth 
from  can  to  can.  Apply  with  a chiseled  varnish  brush.  See  that  the  work  is  free  from  dirt 
and  grease. 

OLD  WORK.  One  or  two  coats  are  usually  sufficient.  When  possible,  smooth 
with  fine  sandpaper  before  applying  the  enamel. 

NEW  WORK.  Shellac  all  knots  and  sappy  places,  and  finish  with  one  coat  of 
B.  P.  S.  Semi-Flat  White,  two  coats  of  B.  P.  S.  Inside  Flat  White,  and  two  coats- of  B.  P.  S. 
Enamel  White.  Sandpaper  each  coat  smooth  and  dust  clean  before  applying  succeeding 
coats.  Thin  the  first  coat  of  enamel  with  one  part  of  Turpentine  to  four  parts  of  enamel. 
Either  gloss,  egg  shell  or  rubbed  and  polished  finishes  may  be  secured  with  this  enamel. 


B.  P.  S.  Telephone  and  Telegraph  Pole  Paints 

Are  made  of  materials  especially  adapted  for  this  work,  ground  to  the  last  degree 

of  fineness. 

Will  successfully  prevent  checking  and  rotting  of  wooden  poles.  A coat  or  two 
applied  to  the  butt  end  before  placing  in  the  ground  greatly  increases  the  life  of  the  pole,  as 
it  prevents  rotting  and  decay. 

B.  P.  S.  Pole  Paints  are  made  in  Black  and  Green,  but  any  special  shade  can  be 

furnished. 

For  steel  poles,  we  recommend  that  Nobrac  be  used,  as  it  is  the  only  paint  that 
will  prevent  rust  and  corrosion.  For  description  see  page  29. 

For  concrete  poles  we  recommend  B.  P.  S.  Concrete  Coating,  which  prevents 
. disintegration  and  absorption  of  moisture.  For  description  see  page  25. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

Stir  thoroughly  before  using.  See  that  the  work  is  free  from  dirt  before  painting. 
Apply  one  or  more  coats  without  any  thinning  or  addition  whatever. 

Allow  twenty-four  hours  between  coats.

B.  P.  S.  PAINT  AND  VARNISH  REMOVER 

B.  P.  S.  Paint  and  Varnish  Remover  quickly  removes  old  paint  or  varnish,  leaving 
the  surface  in  its  original  condition,  ready  for  a new  finish. 

Do  not  finish  over  a painted  or  varnished  surface  which  has  checked  or  blistered. 
Have  the  old  finish  removed  with  B.  P.  S.  Paint  and  Varnish  Remover,  as  very  frequently 
a good  deal  of  trouble  is  caused  by  undercoats. 

B.  P.  S.  Paint  and  Varnish  Remover  is  easy  to  apply,  and  no  skill  is  necessary  to 
remove  an  old  finish  perfectly.  It  is  not  injurious  to  the  hands  and  will  not  discolor  the  sur- 
face, nor  soften  glue,  nor  raise  the  grain  of  the  wood. 

Adapted  to  removing  finishes  of  all  kinds  on  any  surface. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

B.  P.  S.  Paint  and  Varnish  Remover  must  be  well  shaken  before  using.  Use 
only  brushes  set  in  glue.  Keep  away  from  naked  light  or  fire. 

Apply  coat  of  Remover  to  painted  or  varnished  surface  with  a soft  brush,  allowing 
it  to  remain  from  three  to  ten  minutes,  according  to  number  and  age  of  coats  to  be  removed. 
When  the  paint  or  varnish  is  thoroughly  softened,  it  can  be  easily  removed  with  a putty  knife. 
Then  wipe  off  the  surface  with  a rag  dipped  in  benzine  or  alcohol. 

For  such  surfaces  as  carvings,  headings,  etc.,  use  stiff  bristle  or  steel  brush  after 
Remover  has  dissolved  old  finish. 


B.  P.  S.  FLOOR  WAX 

B.  P.  S.  Floor  Wax  is  a high-grade  preparation,  made  of  the  best  selected  waxes. 

It  is  perfectly  adapted  to  all  purposes  for  which  wax  is  used,  finishing  hard  or 
soft  woods,  or  floors. 

Will  cover  a greater  surface  and,  unlike  some  waxes,  will  not  become  gummy  nor 
turn  white.  Produces  the  best  waxed  finish. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

For  New  Floors  — Open-grained  Woods  — Fill  well  with  B.  P.  S.  Hardwood  Paste 
Filler.  Clean  surface  thoroughly  and  apply  one  coat  of  B.  P.  S.  Floor  Wax,  spread  evenly 
and  thin.  After  twenty  minutes  rub  lightly  with  weighted  brush  or  cloth  across  the  grain, 
then  with  the  grain,  to  a hard  polish.  A second  coat  applied  a few  hours  later  will  produce  a 
still  finer  finish. 

Close-grained  Woods -Substitute  B.  P.  S.  Liquid  Filler  for  Paste  Filler  and  treat 
same  as  open-grained  woods. 

Old  Floors  — If  floor  has  been  varnished  and  is  not  marred  or  scratched,  clean 
thoroughly  with  wet  cloth  and  apply  B.  P.  S.  Floor  Wax  as  on  new  floors. 


B.  P.  S.  FURNITURE  POLISH 

The  best  polish  for  all  varnished  or  painted  surfaces.

TRAOE  MARK  REGISTERED 


B.  V.  S.  VARNISH -Best  Varnish  Sold -is  just  what  its  name  implies. 

The  culmination  of  years  of  experience  and  thousands  of  tests  to  produce  a var- 
nish that  has  all  of  the  merits  and  none  of  the  defects  of  previous  products  of  the  varnish 
maker’s  art. 

The  goal  towards  which  every  effort  of  the  varnish  maker  has  been  directed 
THE  PERFECT  VARNISH. 

This  ambition  has  been  realized  only  after  years  of  patient  and  painstaking 
research,  thousands  of  tests  - scrupuously  exact  in  every  detail,  coupled  with  a thorough 
knowledge  of  the  principles  involved,  backed  by  the  years  of  experience  of  masters  of  their  art. 

The  embodiment  of  Oriental  discovery  of  varnish  and  lacquer  manufacture,  in 
combination  with  Occidental  thrift,  stability,  science,  ingenuity  and  progress. 

It  combines  the  knowledge  of  the  wily  Chinaman -the  discoverer  of  the  art  of 
varnish  manufacture;  the  adaptability  of  the  Japanese,  who  have  been  famed  for  ages  for 
the  quality  of  their  lacs;  the  thrift  of  the  Hollanders,  who  have  been  leaders  for  years  in 
the  art;  the  stability  of  the  Briton,  who  has  built  on  a solid  foundation  for  years;  the  exact 
science  of  the  German  chemist,  who  was  the  first  to  introduce  science  in  manufacturing  — 
with  resourceful  American  ingenuity  and  progress. 

Retaining  that  which  was  good  — the  principles  that  have  stood  the  acid  test  of 
time— discarding  that  which  was  bad,  that  goal  towards  which  we  have  all  been  striving, 
that  desideratum  of  all  varnish  makers  has  been  reached— THE  PERFECT  VARNISH 
B.  V.  S.-BEST  VARNISH  SOLD. 

QUALITY  FIRST. 

The  first  and  only  consideration  in  mind  in  making  this  line  of  varnish  was 
quality.  Let  the  price  be  what  it  might,  we  aimed  to  produce  a varnish  that  would  hold 
the  same  enviable  place  in  the  varnish  world  that  has  always  been  held  by  B.  P.  S.  — BEST 
PAINT  SOLD— in  the  paint  world. 

THE  PRICE? 

The  same  as  you  pay  for  an  ordinary  varnish.  Improved  methods  of  manufac- 
ture, certain  new  and  secret  processes  whereby  we  avail  ourselves  of  economies  heretofore 
impossible,  make  this  possible. 

Science,  care,  attention  to  detail,  and  the  proper  manipulation  of  the  different 
ingredients  combine  to  produce  THE  PERFECT  VARNISH. 

No  pains  or  expense  are  spared  to  make  B.  V.  S.  — BEST  VARNISH  SOLD  — the 
very  best  the  market  affords— THE  PERFECT  VARNISH.

B.  V.  S.  EXTERIOR  VARNISH 


Made  especially  for  severe  exposure  to  the  elements.  Sun  or  rain,  frost  or  snow, 
have  no  effect  on  B.  V.  S. 

Being  a very  elastic  varnish,  it  expands  and  contracts  with  the  surface  under- 
neath, presenting  at  all  times  a surface  impervious  to  all  climatic  influences. 

Its  elasticity  is  the  proof  of  its  durability. 

As  long  as  a varnish  retains  its  elasticity,  just  so  long  does  it  retain  its  durability 
and  its  resisting  power  to  outside  influences.  When  it  no  longer  expands  and  contracts,  con- 
forming to  the  expansion  and  contraction  of  the  surface  underneath,  due  to  changes  in  climatic 
conditions,  then  does  its  durability  become  impaired  and  marks  the  beginning  of  its  deteriora- 
tion. B.  V.  S.  Exterior  Varnish  is  elastic,  therefore  durable. 

It  will  not  scratch  nor  mar  white,  and  will  not  turn  white  in  hot  or  cold  water. 

No  better  varnish  can  be  made  for  porches,  entrance  doors,  store  fronts,  vesti- 
bules, bathrooms,  laundries,  vessels,  yachts,  and  all  surfaces  exposed  to  fresh  or  salt  water 
or  exposed  to  the  elements. 

Dries  dust-proof  in  about  twelve  hours.  Can  be  rubbed  and  polished.  Three 
days’  time  should  be  allowed  before  rubbing. 

Time  and  tide  have  no  effect  on  B.  V.  S.  — THE  PERFECT  VARNISH.

it  with  your  thumb  nail.  It  will  not  powder,  nor  turn  white. 

Pour  hot  or  cold  water  over  it,  or  hold  it  over  live  steam.  It  will  not  disinte-

B.  P.  S.  BOILER  FRONT  ENAMEL  No.  316 

We  have  been  selling  this  material  successfully  for  a number  of  years  in  our  Marine 
Department  for  the  painting  of  marine  engines,  funnels,  smoke  stacks  and  other  places  ex- 
posed to  extreme  heat,  and  where  the  conditions  are  unusually  severe. 

B.  P.  S.  Boiler  Front  Enamel  No.  316  will  withstand  such  extreme  heat  as  1000 
degrees  and  we  recommend  its  use  on  boiler  fronts  and  stacks. 

It  produces  a very  beautiful,  glossy  finish,  covers  well  and  is  rather  heavy  in  con- 
sistency, but  works  very  freely  when  applied  on  metal  that  is  slightly  heated. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

See  that  the  surface  is  clean  and  free  from  rust.  Remove  rust  with  wire  brushes. 
Stir  thoroughly  before  using  and  apply  when  surface  is  slightly  heated. 

B.  P.  S.  CEMENT  HARDENER 

Is  a liquid  preparation  for  application  to  Cement  or  Concrete  Floors  or  any  other 
Cement  or  Concrete  work  where  a hard,  non-porous  surface,  free  from  dust,  is  desired. 

This  fluid  combines  with  and  becomes  part  of  the  Cement.  It  penetrates  the 
surface  and  binds  the  particles  of  the  composition  together  so  as  to  effectually  prevent  powder- 
ing off  and  the  resultant  worn  surface  and  dusty  atmosphere. 

If  applied  to  new  Cement,  the  natural  wearing  qualities  of  the  surface  are  greatly 
strengthened.  An  old,  worn  surface  is  improved  and  further  deterioration  is  prevented  by  a 
liberal  application  of  B.  P.  S.  Cement  Hardener. 

B.  P.  S.  Cement  Hardener  is  colorless,  and  where  service  is  required  rather  than 
beauty  of  appearance,  an  occasional  application  of  this  fluid  will  preserve  the  Cement  surface 
from  ordinary  wear  as  long  as  may  be  desired. 

It  is  not  affected  by  water  and  prevents  absorption  and  injury  to  the  cement  when 
washed  or  scrubbed. 

B.  P.  S.  Cement  Hardener  should  be  applied  liberally  to  the  surface  with  a brush, 
allowing  as  much  as  the  cement  will  absorb  easily. 

The  quantity  required  cannot  be  definitely  stated  on  account  of  the  great  variation 
in  porosity  of  the  surface  to  be  treated.  One  gallon  is  sufficient  to  treat  from  500  to  1000 
square  feet  of  surface  according  to  the  absorbing  qualities  of  the  cement. 

B.  P.  S.  Cement  Hardener  is  recommended  as  a primer  before  applying  B.  P.  S. 
Cement  Floor  Coating.  By  hardening  the  surface  it  decreases  the  quantity  of  Cement  Floor 
Coating  required  to  cover  the  surface  and  by  preventing  disintegration  of  the  cement  it  length- 
ens the  life  of  the  Floor  Coating  finish.

P.  S.  PAT-A-LAC 

(Gum  Cut  in  Alcohol )

B.  P.  S.  Pat-a-Lac  has  all  the  merits  of  the  highest  grade  Shellacs  and  gives  per- 
fect satisfaction  wherever  a Shellac  is  used. 

It  is  made  with  the  best  gum  that  can  be  obtained  for  the  purpose  and  can  be 
relied  upon  to  produce  a perfectly  durable  finish  when  used  in  conjunction  with  a high-grade 
varnish. 

B.  P.  S.  Pat-a-Lac  produces  a satisfactory  foundation  for  varnish.  It  fills  and 
seals  the  pores  of  the  wood  and  is  impervious  to  moisture. 

It  is  transparent  and  does  not  obscure  the  natural  beauty  of  the  wood. 

It  spreads  easily  and  covers  a large  surface  per  gallon,  dries  quickly  and  sandpapers 

easily. 

B.  P.  S.  Pat-a-Lac  can  be  used  as  a priming  coat  for  pitchy  lumber,  knots,  etc., 
before  painting  or  enameling.  It  can  also  be  used  for  pipe  joints,  as  it  will  make  a permanently 
non-leakable  joint  on  pipes  used  for  any  purpose. 

B.  P.  S.  Pat-a-Lac  is  the  most  economical  and  durable  Shellac  material  that  can 

be  made.

B.  P.  S.  Oil,  REFINERS’  TANK  PAINT 


B.  P.  S.  Oil  Refiners’  Tank  Paint  is  made  especially  for  use  on  tanks  in  oil  refin- 
eries. Paint  used  for  this  purpose  is  subjected  to  unusually  severe  conditions  and  must  be 
made  to  withstand  successfully  these  severe  conditions. 

B.  P.  S.  Oil  Refiners’  Tank  Paint  fills  the  requirements  in  every  way,  as  it  has 
proven  by  actual  use  to  be  the  best  paint  made  for  this  purpose.  It  dries  hard,  yet  is  elastic- 
enough  to  cling  tightly  to  the  metal,  finishes  with  a good  gloss,  coveres  perfectly,  will  out- 
wear any  similar  goods  on  the  market,  and  is  NOT  AFFECTED  BY  SULPHUR  FUMES.

The  most  popular  shades  of  B.  P.  S.  Oil  Refiners’  Paint  are  shown  below,  but  any 
special  shade  can  be  furnished. 


DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

See  that  the  surface  is  thoroughly  dry  and  clean.  Remove  all  rust  or  old  loose 
paint  with  wire  brushes.  Stir  the  paint  thoroughly  before  and  after  reduction.  For  first 
coat  reduce  the  paint  with  one  quart  of  pure  raw  Linseed  Oil  to  the  gallon  of  paint.  For 
second  coat  use  one  pint  of  pure  raw  Linseed  Oil  to  the  gallon  of  paint.  Good  results  will  not 
be  obtained  by  reducing  with  Gasoline  or  Naphtha.  See  that  the  paint  is  well  brushed  out 
when  applied.

See  that  car  is  cleaned  of  all  grease,  dirt,  rust  and  mill  scale  before  painting. 

NOTE  — If  tank  cars  are  not  to  be  painted  in  a hurry  and  time  can  be  allowed 
for  the  paint  to  dry  thoroughly,  we  would  recommend  B.  P.  S.  NOBRAC  PAINT,  descrip- 
tion and  directions  for  use  of  which  will  be  found  on  page  29. 


B.  P.  S.  INTERIOR  TANK  CAR  ENAMEL 

This  material  is  made  for  the  finishing  of  the  interior  of  tank  cars. 

As  a matter  of  fact,  tank  cars  should  be  protected  on  the  inside  as  well  as  the  out- 
side. Rust  and  corrosion  attack  the  interior  of  a car  in  the  same  way  as  they  do  the  exterior. 
Painting  the  interior  of  the  car  (with  the  proper  material)  will  not  only  prevent  rust  and 
corrosion,  but  will  assist  in  keeping  the  contents  of  the  car  clean  while  in  transit.  It  permits 
also  of  easy  cleaning  of  the  car  before  or  after  use.  In  fact,  a car  can  be  kept  as  clean  as  a 
porcelain  dish  at  very  little  expense.  However,  paint  to  successfully  meet  these  requirements 
must  be  made  especially  for  this  purpose,  as  the  conditions  are  very  severe.  Any  paint  will 
not  answer  for  this  purpose,  as  the  solvent  properties  of  the  liquids  transported  in  the  cars 
are  such  that  a paint  for  this  purpose  must  be  made  to  withstand  this  action. 

B.  P.  S.  INTERIOR  TANK  CAR  ENAMEL  fills  all  the  requirements  perfectly. 
It  prevents  corrosion  and  dries  very  hard  with  a porcelain-like  finish  that  is  unaffected  by 
the  contents  of  the  car  and  that  can  be  easily  and  cheaply  cleaned.  It  is  made  as  a primer 
and  an  enamel  in  white  only. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

See  that  the  interior  of  the  car  is  thoroughly  dry  and  clean.  Remove  rust  and  mill 
scale  with  wire  brushes.  Apply  one  coat  of  the  primer.  Leave  the  car  open  to  air  out  and 
assist  the  drying  of  the  primer.  Allow  the  primer  forty-eight  to  sixty  hours  to  dry,  then  apply 
the  enamel.  At  least  three  days  should  be  allowed  the  enamel  to  dry,  longer  if  possible,  as 
the  longer  time  the  enamel  is  allowed  to  dry  before  use  the  harder  it  will  become.  See  that 
the  paint  is  stirred  thoroughly  and  applied  just  as  it  comes  in  the  package.

B.  P.  S.  OIL  REFINERS’  PUMP  ENAMELS 


For  the  painting  of  pumps  and  engines  that  do  not  reach  a high  degree  of  heat 
we  recommend  B.  P.  S.  Oil  Refiners’  Pump  Enamels,  as  they  will  successfully  withstand 
heat  up  to  200  degrees. 

B.  P.  S.  Oil  Refiners’  Pump  Enamels  work  easily,  cover  a great  surface,  dry  hard 
with  a good,  glossy  enamel  finish,  are  oil  proof  and  very  durable  and  can  be  cleaned  easily. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

See  that  the  surface  to  be  painted  is  well  cleaned  of  all  dirt,  grease  and  rust.  Then 
apply  the  Pump  Enamel,  two  coats,  just  as  it  comes  in  container.  The  Enamel  should  be 
well  stirred  before  being  applied.

B.  P.  S.  OIL  REFINERS’  PAINT— BLACKS 


The  best  paint  for  iron  and  steel  is  B.  P.  S.  NOBRAC,  description  and  directions 
for  use  of  which  can  be  found  on  page  29. 

B.  P.  S.  METAL  PRESERVATIVE  BLACK  (page  30)  and  B.  P.  S.  LIQUID 
GRAPHITE  (page  32),  for  lower  priced  paints,  are  first-class  in  every  way. 

B.  P.  S.  HARD  DRYING  BLACK 

A paint  to  be  used  upon  any  exterior  or  interior  iron  or  steel  work,  piping,  etc., 
where  a glossy  enamel  finish  is  desired. 

B.  P.  S.  Hard  Drying  Black,  as  its  name  implies,  dries  very  quickly  and  very 
hard  with  an  excellent,  glossy  enamel  finish  and  is  very  durable. 

B.  P.  S.  SPECIAL  GRAPHITE  No.  464 

An  unusual  value  at  the  price,  being  the  superior  of  many  graphite  paints  sold 
at  a much  higher  price.  Covers  a large  surface  per  gallon,  spreads  easily  and  dries  with  a 
black,  durable  finish. 


B.  P.  S.  SPECIAL  GRAPHITE  No.  2004 

An  excellent  piece  of  goods  for  use  where  a medium-priced  graphite  is  wanted. 
Works  easily,  covers  a large  surface  and  with  no  waste. 

B.  P.  S.  BLACK  ELASTIC 

Suitable  for  painting  metal  or  composition  roofing.  Dries  quickly  and  hard,  pro- 
ducing a beautiful,  smooth,  jet  black  finish  that  is  tough  and  durable. 

We  also  recommend  B.  P.  S.  Black  Elastic  for  underground  pipe,  as  it  contains 
no  coal  tar  or  creosote.  It  is  very  heavy  in  consistency  and  will  stand  a reduction  of  at  least 
one-half  gallon  of  reducer  to  the  gallon  of  paint,  reducer  to  consist  of  three  pints  of  Gaso- 
line and  one  pint  of  Kerosene.  It  is  safe  to  estimate  that  the  covering  capacity  of  B.  P.  S. 
Black  Elastic  on  six-inch  pipe,  without  reduction,  will  be  twenty  gallons  to  the  mile  and  on 
four-inch  pipe  fifteen  gallons  to  the  mile.  With  the  reduction  as  mentioned,  six-inch  pipe 
twelve  to  fifteen  gallons  to  the  mile  and  on  four-inch  pipe  eight  to  ten  gallons  to  the  mile. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

See  that  the  surface  is  thoroughly  dry  and  free  from  rust.  Remove  rust  with  wire 

brushes. 

Apply  all  black  paints,  except  Black  Elastic,  just  as  they  come  in  container  with- 
out any  reduction  whatever,  one  or  two  coats  as  desired. 

See  that  the  paint  is  well  stirred  and  well  brushed  out.

B.  P.  S.  BOILER  FRONT  ENAMEL  No.  316 


For  engines,  funnels,  smokestacks,  boiler  fronts  and  stacks.  This  enamel  will 
withstand  heat  as  high  as  1000  degrees.  For  description  and  directions  for  use  see  page  f> 2. 


B.  P.  S.  STACK  PAINT  No.  2 

Where  boiler  fronts  and  stacks  do  not  reach  such  a high  degree  of  heat  we  would 
recommend  B.  P.  S.  Stack  Paint  No.  2,  description  and  directions  for  applying  which  will 
be  found  on  page  32. 


B.  P.  S.  OIL  REFINERS’  STRUCTURAL  PAINT 


As  most  of  the  buildings  around  Casinghead  plants  are  buildings  of  which  the 
structural  work  is  structural  steel  and  the  roofs  and  sides  are  of  corrugated  iron,  either  gal- 
vanized or  black,  we  recommend  B.  P.  S.  Oil  Refiners’  Structural  Paint  as  a first-class  paint 
for  painting  of  such  structures. 

B.  P.  S.  Oil  Refiners’  Structural  Paint  can  be  used  successfully  on  structural 
steel  and  on  the  inside  and  outside  of  roofs  and  siding.  It  covers  well,  dries  hard  with  a good 
gloss,  clings  very  closely  to  the  metal,  and  wall  not  peel  nor  fade. 

DIRECTIONS  FOR  USE 

See  that  the  surface  is  cleaned  of  all  dirt,  grease,  rust  and  mill  scale  before  painting. 

For  first  coat,  reduce  paint  by  using  one  quart  of  pure  raw  Linseed  Oil  to  the 
gallon  of  paint,  and  one  pint  of  pure  raw  Linseed  Oil  to  the  gallon  of  paint,  second  coat. 

See  that  the  paint  is  well  stirred  both  before  and  after  reduction  and  that  it  is 
well  brushed  out  when  applied. 

Allow  plenty  of  time  for  the  paint  to  dry  between  coats. 

For  painting  galvanized  iron  we  would  recommend  that  a coat  of  GALVANIZED 
IRON  PRIMER  be  applied  first,  description  of  same  and  directions  for  use  of  which  will 
be  found  on  page  38. 

NOTE  — We  can  furnish  B.  P.  S.  Oil  Refiners’  Structural  Paint  in  white  or  any 
of  the  shades  shown  in  our  Mill  and  Mine  Village  Paint,  as  shown  on  page  35. 


SHELLACS 

(FOR  PIPE  JOINTS) 

B.  P.  S.  ORANGE  SHELLAC  is  the  best  for  this  purpose,  as  it  is  an  unusually 
heavy-bodied  shellac,  made  from  pure  shellac  gum  and  special  denatured  alcohol.  It  is  abso- 
lutely pure  and  contains  no  adulteration  whatever.
